race recap

This past weekend, I had the opportunity to visit Falmouth, Massachusetts – located in Cape Cod – for the Falmouth Road Race and Expo! I was there on behalf of the Northeast…

The last weekend in July was an exciting one for me, as I tackled the Columbia Threadneedle Investments Boston Triathlon! This was my “A” race of this year’s tri season, and I was proud…

Disclosure: This post is sponsored; I was a race ambassador for the Brittany Fund 5K/10K. You may have noticed a lack of race recaps on the blog in the last few months – it’s been a while since I’ve raced! In fact, I think my last road race was in the fall, so I was…

Just got back from the Hudson Valley a few days ago, and let me tell you – the Farm to Fork Fondo was awesome. Beautiful scenery? Check. Challenging ride? Check. Farm-fresh treats at aid stations? Check. A CAMEL hanging out post race? Check. (Fo’ real – check out this photo!) I was so excited to…

Last week I posted this throwback Thursday photo of my friend Justine and me, which was taken right after we finished the Maui Marathon in 2010. That was my first (of two) full marathons, and was only really my 3rd endurance race at that point. I had done one sprint triathlon and one half marathon…

Last weekend, my family and I met up with my friend Steph to do the Santa Shuffle 5K in Shrewsbury. This was my second race since spraining my foot and subsequently developing plantar fasciitis, so I was really happy that my foot felt great during the run and was only a little sore the next…

On Sunday, I was lucky enough to be able to participate in the Color Run Boston on behalf of Kohl’s! I’m part of this awesome blogger group, and they created a Kohl’s team – Team #Yes2You – for us to be a part of. That meant I got a free entry to the race, and…
